9:30 pm
the zoomers, that were born in the mid—to—late �*905. the more un—charitable definition is that they are a cohort, defined by their anxiety. but the economist has just published an article that turns our impression but the economist has just published an article that turns our impression of the zoomers on its head. in america, the hourly pay growth among 16 to 2a—year—olds hit 13% year on year — a little more than double the rate for workers over 25 years of age. in the uk, using a different measure — people aged 18—21 saw their average pay rise by 15% — far outstripping pay rises among the other age groups. in respect of wage growth, as reflected in household incomes the average 25—year—old american has an annualfamily income of around $40,000 — that's over 50% more than the average baby—boomer at the same age. are the zoomers worthy of our pity? the millennials grew up thinking a job was a privilege, the zoomers the economist would suggest, treat it as a right, and act accordingly —
9:31 pm
taking things slowly, prioritising self—care, working less hours not more. callum williams is from the economist. he wrote the article on gen z�*s wealth. i hope you've got your tin hat, because the general view of the zoomers have it tough. are you suggesting comparative to previous generations their a winner? eame generations their a winner? some da 5 the generations their a winner? some days they do _ generations their a winner? some days they do have _ generations their a winner? some days they do have it _ generations their a winner? some days they do have it tough -- - days they do have it tough —— they're. they had to go through covid and in the past couple of years, they've lived through a lot of uncertainty to do with russia's war in ukraine and the israel—hamas war in ukraine and the israel—hamas war and so on. we're mainly focusing on the economy and what they've really experienced over the past few years is a tight labour market. any employee you ask any country will
9:32 pm
say they are suffering from a labour shortage, and that is a very different situation to the one that my generation, the millennials, faced about 10—15 years ago. zoomers, in a way few other generations have, i have a of their jobs and demand better conditions. it's not the impression ahead of them. it blew my mind. why did they are number —— earn more? find ina in a situation now, youth unemployment went very high in 2011-2012, 2013. it's also a unemployment went very high in 2011—2012, 2013. it's also a very, very low levels. if you are looking for work as a young person, it's easier to find it a few years ago. what that also means is that you feel a little more comfortable about saying to your boss, "if you don't give me a pay rise then i'm going to
9:33 pm
go down the road." that's really why these people, these zoomers are seeing a strong wage growth. at the seeing a strong wage growth. at the risk of alienating _ seeing a strong wage growth. at the risk of alienating the _ seeing a strong wage growth. at the risk of alienating the zoomers - seeing a strong wage growth. at the risk of alienating the zoomers who might be watching, although many might be watching, although many might be watching, although many might be on tiktok, from what i read — the more unkind view is that they are entitled, that they expect more for less. but maybe that is to their benefit, and i wonder as a result of that, they get on much quicker. yes. that is kind — that, they get on much quicker. yes. that is kind of _ that, they get on much quicker. yes. that is kind of the _ that, they get on much quicker. yes. that is kind of the nature _ that, they get on much quicker. 133 that is kind of the nature of bargaining power in the labour market. if you have power in the labour market, it means you can demand more. you could say to your boss, "if you asked me to work on saturdays, i'm going to say no." in that sense, they are more entitled, they do have more power. i would say probably, that is better than a situation that prevailed in the
9:34 pm
early 2010 �*s, but particularly in countries like spain, greece, portugal and so on. it exceeded 50% unemployment. we don't have that situation any more. that is something i think we should celebrate. i think it's very important to remember, and the piece goes into this, that on the housing front, there are more challenges, but in terms of what they're earning, things are looking pretty good. jennifer carroll, we had this idea that there were gen zers who are quiet. just putting in not enough effort —— enough effort not to be fired. in florida, are the zoomers hard—working? fired. in florida, are the zoomers hard-working?— fired. in florida, are the zoomers hard-working? here's the thing, i really changed — hard-working? here's the thing, i really changed the _ hard-working? here's the thing, i really changed the landscape -- l really changed the landscape —— covid _ really changed the landscape —— covid really. even in florida, we

of his career, with victory at the one—day classic fleche wallonne race in belgium. the 27—year—old from aberystwyth, who enjoyed a breakthrough win at the tour down under at the start of the season, broke clear on the final climb. he held on to finish clear of the peloton to become the first british man in history to win the race. just to update you on the champions leave — arsenal are out. updates from that on the bbc sport website. manchester city have drawn with real madrid, so that match goes to aftertime. more later on. see you then. good evening. sunshine for some, but not for all. that's been the story today, and when the shower clouds came, they were pretty threatening. quite a dramatic weather watcher picture here sent in from north wales. most of the showers have been out to the west first thing this morning, with these frontal systems sinking steadily south. through this evening, we have a clutch of showers just clinging on to east anglia and south—east england. they fade away, skies clear,
9:56 pm
temperatures are likely to fall away, and gardeners and growers, take note — we could see a touch of light frost in sheltered western areas with low single figures. further north and west, we keep around 4 or 5 degrees, and that's because we have cloud and rain spilling in and that's because we've got cloud and rain spilling in from another system, which will bring some wet weather as we go through the day. so, into the afternoon, perhaps the best of the sunshine east anglia, the midlands and southern england, clouding over through north wales, north midlands, up into northern england, to close to the scottish borders, where there'll be outbreaks of rain. the rain not too bad in northern ireland, but it'll stay fairly persistent on and off through the north—west of scotland throughout the afternoon. so the rain obviously having a little impact on the feel of the weather once again — only highs of 8—12 degrees, but we might see 15 celsius in the south—east with the best of the sunshine. so, there'll be some rain for all of us at some point through thursday night into the early hours of friday morning, and then the high pressure really trying to influence its story.
9:57 pm
however, because of the position of the high, we still pick up this northerly wind, so we will be chasing cloud amounts around. it's going to be a breezy day on friday, and that will have an impact on the feel of the weather once again. temperatures just below par, really, for the time of year. into the start of the weekend, the high pressure is continuing to nudge its way a little bit further north and east. this weather front could enhance some showery rain for a time across eastern scotland and maybe north—east england. it also, again, depends on the direction of the wind. because of the position of the high, we're continuing to drag in the wind from the north—east, so coming from scandinavia, a cooler source — and so that means that along north sea coasts, yes, at times, those temperatures struggling and there will be a few scattered showers. so west is best for not only sunshine, but also warmth this weekend.
